The YouGov survey of six western European countries the UK, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy and Spain found that Danes were the most likely to say it was perfectly OK to bare all in public places and to have followed through."
"Unsurprisingly, large majorities across all six countries agreed it was fine to strip off in dedicated naturist spots, with 84-94% having no issues with private nudist camps and 77-91% fine with nudist beaches, though 17% of French and Italians objected. Over 50% of Danes say they have been completely naked in public But while most people in all countries surveyed disapproved of nudity in places such as public swimming pools or parks,"
Acceptance and practice of public nudity vary across six Western European countries: the UK, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. Large majorities (84–94%) accept naturist camps, and 77–91% accept nudist beaches, though 17% of French and Italians object. Danes show the highest tolerance: over 50% report being completely naked in public, 87% accept nudity in private gardens, 35% accept non-nudist beaches, and 64% approve of skinny dipping. More than half of Danes have been naked in at least one public setting as adults, compared with 45% of Germans, 44% of Spaniards, 31% of French, 25% of Britons and 22% of Italians.
